Application filed. April-21, 1926.. Serial No. 103,413.

This invention relates to combination noodle and cake cutters, and has as one of its objects to provide a device capable of cutting dough or other similar material into strips.

Another object is in the provision of means whereby designs may be impressed on unbaked pastry, making the same ornamental and attractive to the eye as well as the appetite.

' A further object is to provide a device having means to lock the cutters inposition and so avoid loss of time by slipping and side-play.

A still further feature is in the provision of means whereby the stamping device may be easily and quickly cleaned.

These and other objects, which will be-v come apparent as the description progresses, are accomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the preferred form of the invention Figure 2 is an enlarged end view thereof.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view showing the stamp cleaning means.

Figure 1 is a similar view disclosing a modification of the invention.

Figure 5 is a like illustration showing a.

still further form of the disclosure.

The numeral 10 generally designates the main body portion of the'cutter, made preferably out of maple wood, having on its outer periphery extending for a; considerable length a plurality of sharply bevelled annular cutters 11.

Extending from both ends of the body 10, for a suitable length and integral therewith, are reduced handle elements 12 having en-- larged ends 13 to afford an effective grip and prevent slipping of an operators hands.

The end surface of the member 13 is drilled out to form a circular chamber 14; on

Formed in the handles 12, adjacent the.

members 13, are angular recesses 17 connect mg with the openings 16 111 the design.

In themodifi'cation shown in Figure 4, a

hollow tube 20 is employed in place of the solid bar used in Figure 1, having ends simi lar to the elements 13 (not shown).

liiounted on the tube 20 is plurality of sharply bevelled washers 21 of equal size and made of celluloid, indurated fibre or other material not affected by moisture.

The washers are held in a rigid position by a collar 22 on each end thereof, the same being held firmly by a pin 23 passing therethrough and also through openings in the tube 20. y

A further modification consists of a h0l low tube 30 having a plurality of uniformly spaced openings 31 extending in a straight line for a distance equal to the limits of the serrations 11, there beingalso handles similar to 12 of Figure 1.

Mounted Within the tube 30 is a block 32 having wedge-shaped faces 33, on the flat side ofwhich is a'plurality of small pins 34 uniformly soaced equal to the openings 31 in the tube 30.

Engaging with the wedge faces 33 of the block 32 is a similar block 35 having like faces 36of wedge shaped formation.

The cutters 37, similar to 21, have in their inner periphery openings '38 to engage the design on the material by using the ends 13 111 an obvious manner.

If it becomes necessary to clean the de sign, a finger may be inserted in the recess 17 reaching through the openings 16 in the design 15.

In the modification shown in Figure 5 the washers 37 are removed by moving the block 35 to the left thereby lowering the pins .34 out of engagement with the openings 38 in the washers; the opposite process ,is em-;

ployed in replacing the washers.

lVhile certain preferred embodiments of" this device have been shown and described.

itwill be understood that, changes in the form, arrangements. proportions, sizes and details thereof'may be made without departing from the scope of thejinvention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described myinventicn, what 1 I claim as new and tors Patent, is 7 l. A pastry cutter comprising a hollow roll, a plurality of, cutter discs juxtaposed on said roll, and means operable Within said roll for locking the discs thereon. Y 7

2. A pastry cutter comprising a tube having a longitudinal row of equally spaced openings, a plurality of cutters having douhle bevelled peripheries mounted on said desiroto secure by Let tube in juxtaposed relation, said cutters having central radial openings in their bores, and means operable from Within said tube passing through the openings therein to engage in the openings of said cutters to lock v them to the tube.
